TEMPORARY SHIFT ALLOWANCE i) Sometimes Telstra may ask employees who are not shiftworkers to become shiftworkers on a temporary basis to fill vacancies on a shift roster, and Telstra may call for volunteers. Where you and Telstra agree to you undertaking temporary shiftwork Telstra will pay you an allowance to make yourself available to perform temporary shift work. Participation in undertaking temporary shiftwork is voluntary. See Section 13 for the amount of the allowance.
ii) While you receive the temporary shift allowance, you will be subject to all conditions that apply to shiftwork.
iii) You or Telstra can opt out of the temporary shift arrangements on a quarterly basis. Accordingly, ongoing payment of the allowance is not guaranteed. You may ask to cease receiving the allowance and stop undertaking the temporary shiftwork before the completion of 3 months. Taking into account your particular circumstances, Telstra will not unreasonably refuse the request.
iv) If you receive this allowance but unreasonably refuse to work shiftwork, Telstra may discontinue paying the allowance immediately and you will no longer be required to undertake temporary shiftwork.
v) Payment of the allowance will continue during periods of paid leave.
